For most people, a natural gas fueling station in their garage or on the side of the house would make sense, plugging in and fueling over night as Boon Pickens pointed out... large trucks at layover points also. I just recently purchased a new ford F150,6 cyl 3.7 litre super crew.Had there been a natural gas hybrid available from ford, I would have been on it in a flash. Filling out the after purchase survey from ford I answered that if a natural gas hybrid was available i would have bought it ...so they are asking the right question anyway. GM has just came out with a natural gas ..gas, hybrid which i am going to predict will be a winner. This technology has been well proven and tested for many years with propane, so i do not think there would be problems purchasing a natural gas hybrid , right out of the gate...which a lot of people are reluctant to do with gas electric hybrid,, although very well proven technology now with the Prius. cbc.ca <<<<The world’s largest automaker announced plans Monday to sell pickup trucks that can run on both gasoline and compressed natural gas. General Motors will launch two pickups in April that can “seamlessly” transition between the two fuels. The vehicles will be sold in both Canada and the United States According to a statement, GM says drivers could *save between $6,000 to $10,000 in fuel costs over three years. That’s because natural gas is about one-third the cost of gasoline.* The Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 HD pickups will have tanks for both fuels. GM expects the range of the vehicles to be over 1,000 kilometers. GM began selling cargo vans that run on compressed natural gas in 2012.>>>>
